Having demonstrated his strength, Lin Yi bowed deeply to Zhang Dao Xuan, “Master, thank you for your guidance and protection. The formation of my Golden Core owes half its credit to you.”

Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t suppress his laughter and waved his hand, saying, “Hahaha, credit doesn’t matter. When you ascend to the Upper Realm and meet my true self there, please show off a little on my behalf.”

“Why not go up yourself and speak to him? You could just find a reliable disciple to look after this Secret Realm then,” Lin Yi suggested.

Zhang Dao Xuan shook his head, “You think good disciples are that easy to find? One like you might only appear once in a thousand years.”

Afterwards, he gently walked forward, patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and said, “Taking you as my disciple has truly been a blessing in my three lives. You’ve done something that I haven’t been able to – successfully cultivate a Golden Core. And not only that but one composed of seven elements. I must reward you.”

With these words, he took out a porcelain bottle, smiling as he said, “This is the Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill you once desired. In a year, the Secret Realm will open in the Heng Yuan World. At that time, you can change your identity and give this pill to the Gold Sword Zen Ren in the outside world.”

Gazing at the porcelain bottle in Zhang Dao Xuan’s hand, Lin Yi was somewhat moved. Although he had already become a Spirit Level Entrance Alchemist, to craft a Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill, he needed to improve his alchemy skills to Spirit Level Completion Rank at the very least.

Simultaneously, he also required to upgrade his alchemy title to the fourth stage. Only then could he craft a Top-grade Resurrection Pill, leveraging the bonus effects of the title to turn the Top-grade into Supreme-grade.

The quickest way to improve his skills would be to create Gathering Mysterious Pills. However, to improve his title, Infant Breaking Pills were required. Altogether, it may take at least a decade to achieve these prerequisites.

Initially, he chose the first method: to craft the Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill himself, hence earning the title [Face Difficulties Head On].

However, this was a reward offered by his master, not something he asked for. Lin Yi was not a person who was completely inflexible.

“Ahem, Master, isn’t this not quite right? My initial choice was to craft it through my own strength, challenging the highest difficulty. It really doesn’t seem right, but if you insist…” Lin Yi said, shrugging while extending a hand to take the porcelain bottle.

When the last Dan God Secret Realm opened, Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng’s lifespan was only sixty years. Seventeen years have since passed, leaving him approximately forty-three more years.

To achieve a Golden Core, at least fifty years is required for the breakthrough process. If he continues to delay for ten more years, even with a replenished foundation, it is likely Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng will never attain the Golden Core.

About the Longevity Pill, Lin Yi learned about its characteristics from the Pill Immortal Master. The lifespan provided by the pill was somewhat different to one’s natural lifespan causing a considerable decline and aging in the body’s potential functions. In layman terms, it only allows one to live a longer life.

If one reaches the threshold of a breakthrough in one’s lifespan, there still exists a chance to break through within the extended life provided by the Longevity Pill. Without nearing the breakthrough point, chances of doing so are virtually nil.

Therefore, countless cultivators make every possible attempt to break through their realm before the end of their lifespan, not placing their hopes on the life extended by the Longevity Pill — a reluctant last resort.

Noticing the thickness of Lin Yi’s skin, a hearty laugh escaped Zhang Dao Xuan, “Good lad, seeing how thick-skinned you are, this master is reassured.”

The Cultivation World is an unforgiving place; if you don’t know how to adapt and only act straightforwardly, you won’t last until the end.

He had no doubt that Lin Yi could craft a Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill, only that it was a matter of time. The Liu Yun Sect’s Golden Sword Peak key disciple’s dilemma at present was, in fact, a lack of time.

For someone like Lin Yi, who achieved a Golden Core at around seventy years old, his lifespan was 500 years, meaning he had 430 years to cultivate into the Nascent Soul Realm.

Whereas the disciple of the Golden Sword Peak now likely only had around forty years left. Even if he achieves a Golden Core within forty years, he’ll have just over 250 years left to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, making time critically scarce.

Smiling, Lin Yi shook the porcelain bottle and said with a jest, “Master, you are a Dan God after all. Rewarding me with a Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill after I’ve formed a seven-element Golden Core, just doesn’t match your status.”

Zhang Dao Xuan pointed at Lin Yi and laughed, scolding, “You’ve just mentioned how forming this Golden Core relied on half of my contributions, and now you’re already asking for more.”

Following his previous jest, he waved his hand and said, “All right, just speak. What is it you want?”

“I wish to learn about the Array formation, Master,” Lin Yi replied seriously.

Now that his alchemy skills have reached Spirit Level, it’ll be a while before they can reach Earth Rank. He might as well learn about Array formation.

In the Cultivation World, Array Masters are even rarer than Pill Masters. Once a Pill Master matures, their ability to demonstrate their capability is incredibly fast and greatly respected.

Array Masters, however, are quite different. Not only is their exhibition of capability weaker but also their growth speed is much slower. Pills are needed either by Loose Cultivators or Sect Disciples.

Regarding Array formations, Sect Disciples rarely require them, as only Loose Cultivators have such needs for Gathering Spirit or Protective Arrays.

However, in the Cultivation World, the value of Array Masters exceeds that of Pill Masters. This is because Secret Realms, heritage sites, including large capabilities’ Cave Mansions, all have the existence of Arrays, which require Array Masters for removal.
